Sea Scouts Fundraising

Fun, Effective Fundraising

Sea Scouts Fundraising

Hundreds of Sea Scouts nationwide use our ‘Guaranteed to Succeed Fundraiser’ each year to finance the activities of their units.

• Traditional Program:

  Using the Traditional Fundraising Program, the sea scouts and their families take orders from local friends and family members and then deliver the products to their customers.

• Online Program at www.GiftItForward.com:

  With this Online Fundraising Program, sea scouts and their parents can outreach nationally to their friends and relatives. These products are shipped directly to the gift recipients from Mickman Brothers.

Fundraising Profits
100% of the profits you earn stay within your local Sea Scout Group! And, you choose the price you want to charge for each product. We recommend a mark-up of from $6 – $10+ per item so you can choose the prices you feel will work best in your community for your local Sea Scout unit.

THE FUTURE OF SEA SCOUTS

Utilize Mickman Brothers Holiday Fundraiser to fund your Sea Scout Adventures. Our Holiday Wreath Fundraiser promotes better citizenship and sales skills, along with personal connection and communication, to better social and service skills and experience.

Master your skills on and off your vessel with hands-on experiences. Fund your trip to Alaska, San Juan Islands, or the Koch International Sea Scout Cup by putting on your annual Holiday Fundraiser. For many Sea Scout Units, this is the only fundraiser they need to do to fund their future!

In Fundraising, much like Sea Scouting, you are focused on your future, let’s build a better tomorrow by taking these adventures, learning life skills, and maintaining the beauty of the great outdoors!

PATENTED PACKAGING FOR YOUR SEA SCOUTING UNIT

We strive to make every product we hand-craft as fresh and beautiful as possible and arrive in the condition we both expect. The mantra we stress to all of our employees is that each wreath they make is one they would be proud to display on their mother’s front door. To ensure that each wreath we make arrives just as full and fluffy as when we made it, we designed and patented a custom carton in which to store and transport your wreaths. See Patented Packaging

CONSERVATION EFFORTS

Important to Sea Scouts and Mickman Brothers
When we harvest Balsam Boughs, we choose only the newest growth from each tree and only clip off the ends of the branches. This allows the branch to regenerate new growth off of which we can harvest in 4 – 5 years. These Sustainable Harvesting techniques ensure that the forests from which the boughs are harvested remain healthy for generations to come.

Years ago, we also recognized that these forests provided our company and customers with a valuable resource. In 2007 John & Chris Mickman made a commitment to fund the planting of an evergreen tree for each Holiday Gift Product we sold. To date, Mickman Brothers has funded the planting of over 800,000 tree seedlings in 49 States.
